I dont know if SUSE has Apache or not. However, it probably comes with the full version. I downloaded the 700 Meg .ISO file for Suse 9.1 personal edition. I had an older PIII Celeron 1.2G Tulatin system, with XP with NTFS I wanted to put it on. So I just stuck the CDR I made and stuck it in the CD and turned it on. The Automated process resized my existing partitions and installed the multi boot so slick that I did not know it was going on (Well almost). It uses its own multiboot tool. It set up the networking and I was surfing over the Internet without having to edit text configuration files. I was really Impressed with the Installation process. It was easier than windows. I am not a real hardcore Linux guy, but I was still able to get it to install.

I had 2 NIC Cards, because my son is getting ready to take a course in linux and I wanted him to be able to build a server. One NIC card was a 3Com card and the other was a linksys card. The Linksys NIC had no problems but the 3Com presented a problem. Just thought I would tell you that.

3Com NIC bad.
Linksys NIC good.
